El Salvador Lyrics - Fight To Survive - White Lion

He could barely remember 

When the fighting began 

It was early September 

When he lost his old man 

Soon the time came to leave there 

And to start a new life 

How it seems so unfair 

When they gave him a gun and a knife 

So he fights with a gun in his hand 

(A gun in his hand) 

For what reason he can't understand 

(He can't understand) 

Yeah, he fights with a gun in his hand 

(A gun in his hand) 

For the freedom of their land 

Can you hear them crying out 

(All the people in El Salvador?) 

Can you hear a distant shout 

(From the people in El Salvador?) 

As he stares at the ceiling 

He thinks back quite aways 

It was him that was dealing 

Tell you those were the days 

As he stares at a white dove 

Tears roll down on his face 

And then once filled with love 

That only God himself can replace 

Oh, so he fights with a gun in his hand 

(A gun in his hand) 

For what reason he can't understand 

(He can't understand) 

Yeah, he fights with a gun in his hand 

(A gun in his hand) 

For the freedom of their land 

Can you hear the crying out 

(All the people in El Salvador?) 

Can you hear a distant shout 

(From the people in El Salvador?) 

Cross your heart and hope to die 

(For the people in El Salvador?) 

Still they kill not knowing why 

(All the people in El Salvador?) 

Can you hear them cry? 

Can you see them die? 

Can you tell me why? 

(Can you tell me why?) 

All the people in El Salvador 

(El Salvador) 

Can you hear them cry? 

Can you see them die? 

Can you tell me why? 

(Can you tell me why?) 

All the people in El Salvador 

(El Salvador) 

Can you hear the crying out 

(All the people in El Salvador?) 

Can you hear a distant shout 

(From the people in El Salvador?) 

Cross your heart and hope to die 

(For the people in El Salvador?) 

Still they kill not knowing why 

(All the people in El Salvador?)
